CUCUMBER SOUP

3 cups cucumbers, sliced thinly         

4 cups vegetable stock

1 slice onion   

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup flour   

2 cups nut milk of choice

1 tablespoon olive oil

1) Taste the cucumbers to see if they are bitter.  If they aren't continue on to the next step.  If they are bitter, boil the cucumber slices in water for 10 minutes and discard the water. 

2) Add the cucumbers and onions to the vegetable stock in a kettle.  Simmer until the onion is soft.  At least 15- 20 minutes.

3) Blend the olive oil, flour, salt and milk until smooth, and add to the stock to thicken, stirring continuously.  Serve while piping hot.

If you want a smooth soup, blend the soup.  Otherwise, skip this step.  While cooked cucumber may seem a little strange, I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the light, pleasant taste of this soup.
